Thankful Despite the Pain

Your single finger pressed against my bruised lips
keep the sorrowful words in.
Your pure words fill the dark corners in my heart with innocence.
Your soft bosom is a pillow of comfort
that not even God could create if He had eight days.

For this,
For you,
And all for you,
I would go through it a thousand times.

Thank you.

The author's comments:
Again, written at night, this piece carries it's meaning more subtly than overtly. For instance the constrasting verses ask the reader to question the extent of the girl's positive influence on the character or whether it is simply a lie that he wishes to believe in an attempt to ease his pain.

Thats all I can reveal :)
